Real Time PCR Detection Kit Avian influenza type A virus subtypes H and N Panel (H1 H3 N1 and N2)

The Real Time PCR detection Kit Avian influenza type A virus subtypes H and N Panel (H1, H3, N1 and N2) comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Avian influenza type A virus subtypes H1, H3, N1 and N2 detection by using qPCR.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Influenza A viruses are negative-sense, single-stranded, segmented RNA viruses belonging to the Influenzavirus A genus on the Orthomyxoviridae family. Influenza A virus causes influenza in birds and some mammals. Despite strains of all subtypes have been uncommonly isolated from wild birds with, some isolates of cause severe disease both in domestic poultry and, rarely, in humans. The several subtypes of Influenza A virus are labelled according to an H number (for the type of hemagglutinin) and an N number (for the type of neuraminidase). There are 17 different H antigens and nine different N antigens. The subtypes H1, H3, N1 and N2 are associated with different strains which can infect birds and mammals, including humans. The assay was designed to cover sequences from the core cluster of the subtypes. However, as Influenza virus are fast-evolving microorganisms, the inclusivity cannot be ensured for some new clonal strains of the virus.
